[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.25.18
kernel.

It contains lots of bugfixes, all over the map.  Any users of the 2.6.25
kernel series should upgrade to this version.  For details on the fixes,
see the changelog entries and the diffstat below.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
